About Cuboid Keeper
In Cuboid Keeper, you do not enter a dungeon full of enemies to claim its riches. Instead, you defend it, against countless heroes and armies, hell-bent on defeating you and reaching the chamber that holds an ancient galactic secret.
Your vessel, a legendary Guardian feared by the whole galaxy, constantly switches between a fully materialized offensive mode and a reduced, small and fast defensive one. It grows in power and size as the game advances.
The plot is progressively unveiled through dialogs and short stories. You will be told how desperate and hopeful your adversaries are, before mercilessly turning them to dust. But are your actions really rightful?

✦ AI summary
Players praise this underrated indie shooter for its solid design, engaging gameplay mechanics that blend action with strategy, and satisfying progression system with meaningful upgrades. Common complaints focus on the soundtrack, which many find underwhelming or dated-sounding, though most forgive this given the game's small budget and low price point. Overall, reviewers feel the game deserves more attention than it receives and recommend it to anyone willing to look past initial visual impressions.
There is a reason it has so many positive reviews (even if they are from free copies), the game is pretty good and very underrated. To be honest, at first I was going to remove it from my wishlist because I didn't like the graphics, but then I saw on youtube some gameplay videos and I told myself: "well, lets give it a chance". So I let it stay on my wishlist until Hallowing Sale 2020, that is when I bought it. After I played it for a while, it made my realize how many good games don't get a chance in this day and age, just because they don't get enough reviews, or because they "don't look that good" on the store page, or for whatever other reason. To be honest I think it's pretty unfair, but as a consumer I think is my fault too, because I'm always searching for already highly rated games. I'm a hypocrite, probably, I don't know, maybe I will keep doing the same, but with more consciousness about it I will try to give more games a chance. Well, I haven't talked too much about the game yet. I haven't completed it by any means yet either. I'm still on stage 8 or 9, I don't remember, but I have already having fun beating the stages on hard. Pros: - It's pretty well crafted. - It'…3 found this helpful
Decent little shooter with progress and upgrades. You'll probably want to turn down sound in options and play your own music as the soundtrack is kinda meh. Bought for a dollar during a Steam Summer Sale so can't complain.1 found this helpful
just incredible
The game's amazingly well thought and developed. Everything feels nicely done, from GUI, controls, level design, graphics, upgrade system, music... It feels solid. Congratulations to the dev and musicians.
This game is really well done.. its challenging but not that challenging that you get frustrated.. just enough to make you feel like you accomplished something when you pass a level
So far I am really enjoying this game. It has a Geometry Wars feel to it but a lot deeper since you get to customize your "ship" (cube) and there is actually a story. I also like the mechanic where you have to stop shooting to pick up the little bits that increase your multiplier (and you spend them on your cube). It means you have to use a little strategy and not just shoot constantly. The one thing I would change maybe is the soundtrack. I think it would benefit from some higher quality EDM/techno music. The music isn't bad but kind of has that MIDI file from the 90's feel to it. For a small budget indie game, it makes sense though. I'm sure licensed music is expensive and original music even more so.
